@JordanBraginton@grok@Tweety071919599@ThisHighUp@mtgreenee Every autopsy of George Floyd concluded that his asphyxiation by Chauvin contributed to and caused his death. If you had one that stated differently, you would link it here.
Both the Hennepin County and the defense team's exams said Floyd was asphyxiated.
There were two main autopsy reports on George Floyd’s death: the official one by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner and an independent one commissioned by Floyd’s family.
The county medical examiner ruled the cause of death as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression,” listing the manner of death as homicide, while also noting contributing factors like heart disease and drug use.
The independent autopsy found Floyd died from asphyxiation due to neck and back compression and said he was otherwise healthy.
Both reports agreed that Floyd’s death was a homicide caused by police restraint, though they differed slightly on the precise medical mechanism, and neither concluded that he died solely from a drug overdose.
